Happy Flag Day!! 🇺🇸 Flags are powerful symbols, which remind people of their common heritage, history and ideals. The Avenue of Flags was initially established as part of the celebration of the United States' Bicentennial in 1976 at the request of a visitor. The 56 flags represent the 50 states, one district, three territories, and two commonwealths of the United States of America. #flagday (at Mount Rushmore National Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/BytnOGMFu3n/?igshid=1mp9q90u0sdoi

The last 4 days I helped run the 2017 USA Cycling Collegiate Track Nationals. I was there from way before sunrise until way after sunset every day. Being behind the scenes makes me really appreciate everything that goes into running a big event like this. (at Indy Cycloplex - home of the Major Taylor Velodrome)
